Lots of strengths as MMORPS's go, but a little devoid of content. Truly great character creation tools.

Its easy to see what is best about City of Heroes. You can create a character right at the start with a huge number of choices. Its undeniably great, and the latest free add-on gives you even more costume choices. The battle graphics and sounds I think are excellent and better than either WOW or Everquest2 . The graphic engine can handle lots of battle effects at once and it makes every battle fun to see. Enemy character animations are also excellent and varied. The world graphics are fine too, but the battle graphics are where this game stands out from the other MMORPG's. But the missions in City of Heroes are far too much of the same thing over and over. You go in, click on a few objects, fight in maybe 20 total different types of interiors, many with the SAME floor layout. And that's about it. There are Team Force extended missions but they get very similar to each other too. City of Heroes really needs to work on developing more varied missions. PvP in special arenas in several cities was another recent free add-on to the game and curiously, no one seems to be utilizing it at all. Strange. I look forward to City of Villains, but only if they improve the highly repetitive mission structure.
